Hanbok Experience


안녕하세요~~~ Old days, people used to greet other people by saying 안녕하세요 [ Annyonghaseyo ] and bow a little bit. For guys, left hand is over the right hand, vice versa for the girls. You put your hands on your belly and bow and then you say 안녕하세요~~~.
People in Korea don't do that nowadays, though. They just say 안녕하세요 and maybe bend a little bit. I also learnt how people bow to the elder to respect them in the house. There are two types of bowing but I am terribly sorry I forget what are they called. And the bowing for the guys and the girls is different. I have the video of one of 2 types of bowing for girl. We also wearing Hanbok, the traditional clothes of Korea. What interesting is that from how they do the hair, from what dress are they wearing, I could know how important they are, do they have children or not, are they married, are they single, are they students, etc. Interesting~~
